We are very happy to say that the conference was a great success !

Our gratitude goes to many. It goes to those who have played a very important part in making the conference a worthwhile event to those who have attended it.

We thank the speakers who gave us thought provoking talks and practical workshops. We thank the sponsors and exhibitors who made it possible for us to bring you those speakers. We thank Emirates Foundation for sponsoring teachers and principals who would not have had the chance to participate otherwise. We thank the schools and institutions who have sent delegates. We thank the school operators who participated in the first panel discussion of its kind in the region. We thank the debate team of Jumeirah College who gave a great demonstration of critical thinking.

We will also be hard at work soon putting next year’s conference together and we shall post information on that as soon as it becomes available.

Excellence in Education

Confronted with modern teaching techniques, educators have some thorny issues to sort through and a portfolio of skills to adopt in their quest to ensure lifelong learning. Today’s teachers must motivate students to read, seek knowledge, initiate activities that catalyze their curiosity, engage them in debates, innovate when resources are scarce, stimulate their senses and drive to explore, make it rewarding for them to investigate, captivate their interest in networking and get them to cooperate together towards a common and worthwhile purpose. Experts at the TeachME 2009 Conference will gear their efforts towards focusing their workshops around these themes adding inspiration to education in an innovative approach.

In addition to workshops, talks, and sessions, there will be panels, debates, and topics on e-learning.

Dr. Stephen Sroka, an award winning educator and motivational speaker who integrates cutting edge research with reality based strategies for dealing with the issues that face our youth today. Don’t miss his motivational speech “The Power of One to Make a Difference”.

For the first time in the region, the conference brings under its roof five of the major school operators in the region to meet at a panel to discuss their approaches in achieving excellence.

The Early Childhood Education panel is specifically geared to address the importance of high quality childhood education programmes for pre-K learners. It will bring together specialists from the public and private sector.
